Mechanical Turk 20:57 - Nov 20 with 810 viewsGluedtoBlue

Anyone ever used Amazon's Mechanical Turk to earn a bit of extra cash?

Read about it today for first time but wondered if anyone had first hand experience?

Answered my own question and Googled it lol.

Sounds like they’re getting into the People Per Hour space. Have used similar services in the past for outsourcing tasks but never been a freelancer on it. Had mixed results, most the people that do stuff on them have very basic English so number stuff is best and very in depth/clear briefs are needed.

Always struggled with the moral stance on such sites as often you could say you are exploiting cheap labour abroad, but at the same time you could argue even by paying a third of what you would hourly minimal wage is decent living in some places.
